Course Overview

Learn to think like a lawyer with our new Postgraduate Diploma in Law conversion course. This course is the pathway into practice for non-law graduates who want to progress onto the SQE1 Preparation Course, our LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2) to qualify as a solicitor, or the Bar Practice Course (BPC) to qualify as a barrister. Our PGDL offers you a great chance to make the transition into the legal study with excellent levels of support and guidance from our experienced, professional tutors. Not only will you learn the academic law necessary for converting to law, but you will also focus on key skills and competencies crucial for your development as a lawyer. If youre looking to make the change into the legal study and already have an undergraduate degree in another discipline then our PGDL is your pathway into legal practice. In an increasingly competitive legal job market, many employers value the combination of a non-law undergraduate area of expertise combined with a solid grounding in core legal principles and legal skills. Through studying another degree subject, and building your career in another discipline, you will have gained many transferable skills. By choosing law at a later stage, you are showing motivation and determination to pursue a new career.

General Eligibility

An undergraduate degree at 2:2 or above in any discipline (or equivalent).
